Muslim-style appeasement won’t work on Brahmin voters however SP, BSP and AAP suppose it’s going to

Brahmin and Brahmin vote financial institution is the flavour of the season. Opposition political events in Uttar Pradesh, forward of subsequent yr’s meeting elections have collectively began to serenade Hindus and particularly Brahmins. However, their habits and modus operandi to garner the votes stay eerily much like their abhorrent type of Muslim appeasement. Meaning, they’re asking for votes by victimizing the Brahmin neighborhood and singling out the Brahmin outlaws as those being unfairly focused by the Yogi Adityanth administration. Unfortunately for them, Brahmin voters do not need a excessive tendency in direction of being sympathetic in direction of criminals from the identical neighborhood, and in contrast to the Muslim vote financial institution, they disown criminals comparable to Vikas Dubey as a substitute of showing at their funeral processions.As reported by TFI, BSP final week began a Brahmin convention within the holy metropolis of Ayodhya, aimed toward bringing the Brahmin neighborhood into the fold. Mayawati’s Brahmin outreach program was led by occasion common secretary and Brahmin face Satish Chandra Mishra who paid obeisance on the makeshift shrine of Ram Lalla within the temple metropolis earlier than kickstarting the “Sammelan’. But the Sammelan is a failed approach. Mere photo-ops will not entice Brahmin voters.Read More: Meet the Jai Shri Ram Chanting, Brahmin Worshipping, Savarna appeasing Bahujan Samaj PartyEver since the Ram Mandir construction started, parties like BSP that used to treat Hindu votes like an afterthought are making themselves appear as the biggest Ram Bhakt.However, more peculiarly, the opposition is now evoking Vikas Dubey, the notorious ‘Brahmin’ gangster as the unfair victim of Yogi’s onslaught on the criminals. Recently, BSP’s Brahmin face and senior lawyer, Satish Mishra took up the legal battle to secure bail for the 17-year-old widow of slain Brahmin gangster Vikas Dubey’s nephew, Amar, who too was shot in an encounter after the Bikru massacre.It is an interesting development because Satish Mishra or BSP did not think of aiding Khushi the past year. However, with elections approaching and BSP battling for survival by gambling on the Brahmin vote bank, it makes sense, at least according to the BSP think tank to help the kin of the Brahmin gangster.It is a usual trope in minority appeasement that criminals are provided with a deep sob story to create a false sense of victimhood which is later connected to the religious identity. And in most cases, the Muslims and other minority communities chug down this trope in overwhelming quantities but that, unfortunately, isn’t the case with Hindus as BSP likes to believe.If we rewind the clock, when Hizbul terrorist Riyaz Naikoo was slaughtered by the security forces, we would remember how the entire left-liberal ecosystem was sympathising with Naikoo. India’s mainstream media outlets and terror romanticists couldn’t stop making a benign mathematics teacher out of a brutal terrorist. The same thing happened when another Hizbul Commander, Burhan Wani was killed in 2016. Even then the elitist intelligentsia suffered from definitional issues.However, Vikas Dubey was a notorious gangster charged in sixty criminal cases including serious offences like murder, kidnapping, extortion and rioting. He murdered eight officers in a shootout in cold blood. While he was arrested and later killed in the encounter, one did not see a single Hindu invoking his caste, that is, Brahmin identity and presenting him as a victim. In fact, the Hindus batted on the front and cheered for the Yogi administration for its swift justice process.While BSP is trying to present Dubey as a victim in the backdrop of the Brahmin sammelan, SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav had last year started playing the same tune. The former CM unashamedly called Dubey an innocent man, “Kya nirdosh aadmi ko marna, custodial death ho jana, ye kanoon vyavasta kahenge aap (is killing an innocent man in custody a sign of proper law and order?)” While Akhilesh is sorting the mess in his household and is relatively much less energetic within the state politics, one could be assured that he’ll decide up from the place he left and that’s, utilizing the Brahmin identification of Dubey to entice gullible Brahmins to his nook.Read More: Gangster Vikas Dubey is an upper-caste Hindu, however no law-abiding Hindu cried foul over his arrestSimilarly, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which is looking for its footing in UP has tried to exploit the problem as properly. Party’s UP in-charge, Sanjay Singh, final month chaperoned jailed Khushi Dubey’s mom earlier than newsmen in a press convention in Lucknow and demanded that Khushi and three different ladies and a minor little one languishing in jail be let loose.Read More:  ‘Why kill innocent? What about the secrets?’ Killing of Vikas Dubey garners blended reactions from oppositionLeft-liberal publications like The Print had final yr printed op-eds with the headline, “Vikas Dubey’s death is the perfect launchpad for Akhilesh Yadav to mount 2022 UP race” to offer a blueprint to the opposition on methods to assault Yogi. A yr late however the opposition has began its marketing campaign and it’s making an attempt to faucet into the persecution advanced of Brahmins underneath the Yogi authorities, however the reality is, that such a posh doesn’t exist.
